The List

This page lists key published papers that were based in significant part on the concepts and materials developed by the BIMei Community, its founders, and affiliated researchers. Listings are by invitation and the authors (or first listed authors) have provided their explicit approval for inclusion in this list.
Listings are By Type - either Sources or Extensions - and then By Date (descending order). A Source Publication precedes or accompanies the release of new BIMei frameworks, models, taxonomies and data sets (referred to collectively as BIMei Materials. An Extension Publication extends, explains, tests, adapts or significantly improve the source materials. Many extensions eventually become sources and these distinctions over time become faded, fuzzy and meaningless. Use the current listings and distinctions with caution and know that they will surely get updated.
